That sucks Jake. I have had to deal with chronic ear infections, tubes, vacuum needle (preop) and tinnitus and have been to the audiologist a few times myself. Now I protect my hearing and thankfully the generation after me got wise and started doing the same 🍺🇨🇦
Really, man. I have been to so many concerts and shows like Mountain and so many other groups that used to use walls of amps. I have no doubt that damaged my hearing. My brother in law is a professional bass player that started playing during these times. His ears are pretty shot. That was before IEM's and plugging into the Soundboard and out of the PA. He has been wearing hearing aids for years. And IEM's when he gigs or records. He's 72 and going strong. Regards, , John...
@@johnbrady1211 Oh yeah John, I have been to my share of concerts. I have seen Pantera, Slayer, Mudvayne, Morbid Angel, etc. even sitting in the nose bleeds at a Slayer concert feels like your senses are being assaulted I'm a bass player too and like stage volume so I won't shy away from an opportunity to play through an Ampeg 8x10 cabinet. I'm 38 years old and don't look forward to losing high frequencies in the future (lol)
@@christopherfidler3019 Ampeg! I played a white P-bass back in the early seventies using a full stack Ampeg. Back then, bass players were using 15 inch speakers. Those thing’s really pushed some air, man. I wish I could remember the model of that Amp.
@@johnbrady1211 Do you mean the Ampeg Portaflex (Flip Top) with the 15" driver? Ampeg still makes them today. I prefer using a 212 or a 410 over a 115.
I have 80% hearing loss in both ears, and I also have the ringing . I now have hearing aids that helped out a lot . I've had this problem for the last 25 years.
Can totally relate. You definitely habituate to it. At first it’s more shocking, understandably, and we give it value. We think it’s something we must “fix” because it’s like a siren which we associate with danger!! …so the brain attends to it more!…but sometimes you can’t fix it. Once you accept that to a large degree you can start to adapt. Now I let it soothe me, which is a trip. It’s a constant that I know will be with me 🤷♀️🤣 so I make it my buddy..😅 I mean… it’s better than being miserable. I went through that for a while. And yes, I can hear it over many things… even outside. I teach piano and guitar… I’m just hoping the diplacusis subsides so I can get back to my students 😭 Day 6 now and everything is a half step higher in the right ear. Thanks for sharing your story!
Sorry to hear about your flare up… tinnitus or diplacusis? I especially enjoyed your description of the diplacusis because I got to hear it with my current diplacusis so it was even more intense and elevated 🤣 I’m just trying to survive by laughing about this. I’ll send ya an email soon 👍🏽 Hope your flare up subsides soon! Maybe we can exchange tips. I’ve got a few too to help.
Kinda know what you talking about. When I was younger I was really into big stereos in my cars, I mean over 1500 rms watts. fucked up my ears over time. Living with permanent ringing for the past 15 years. Like you say we get used to it. The brain kinda delete the sound. But when I tink about it like at the present moment writing this, I can hear it even if my wife is watching some Netflix in the living room while I'm in the dinning room. Will never hear true silence anymore
Hi Lieutenant… I’ve got diplacusis as well right now (day 6)…This is my second trip with it, and the previous experience took about a month to subside. I had a semitone higher in my right ear and ETD. Everyone sounded like robots and I had tge “mocking ear”. I’m a piano and guitar teacher… so definitely scary. Can’t work till it subsides mostly….Happy to chat about what I know etc…
@@laurenbergmann3962 how are you doing now? I've got diplacusis from a loud Christmas party nearly 6 weeks ago, sometimes I feel it's getting better, sometimes I don't think it's improving 🤷....how did you get yours?

I'm one week into what I believe to be the exact same issue and as a fellow musician this scares the shit out of me... Also have Diplacusis.

I’m getting a labyrinthectomy and a cochlear implant next Friday. I lost my hearing from a virus on June 25th. I am mourning the loss of music.
Hope your procedure goes well! Hang in there!
Thanks for the video. email sent
